Cladribine tablets postulated be an IRT that causes selective transient reductions in CD19+ B cells T cells, followed by of adaptive function.To characterize long-term lymphocyte count changes pooled data from the 2-year CLARITY Extension studies, PREMIERE registry (Long-term cohort).Data randomized...
Tuvusertib (M1774) is a potent, selective, orally administered ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) protein kinase inhibitor. This first-in-human study (NCT04170153) evaluated safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended for expansion (RDE), pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), preliminary efficacy of tuvusertib monotherapy.
Abstract Clinical features that are prognostic indicators of placebo response among dyskinetic Parkinson's disease patients were determined. Placebo‐associated improvements occur in Parkinsonism, but responses dyskinesia have not been studied. Placebo data from two multicenter studies with identical design comparing sarizotan to for treating accessed. Sarizotan (2 mg/day) failed improve compared placebo, both treatments improved baseline. Stepwise regression identified baseline...

Background: Neuroimaging studies have used magnetic resonance imaging-derived methods to assess brain volume loss in multiple sclerosis (MS) as a reliable measure of diffuse tissue damage. Methods: In the CLARITY study ( ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00213135), effect 2 years’ treatment with cladribine tablets on annualized percentage change (PBVC/y) was evaluated patients relapsing MS (RMS). Results: Compared placebo (–0.70% ± 0.79), PBVC/y reduced treated 3.5 mg/kg (–0.56% 0.68, p = 0.010) and...
Background: In the CLARITY (CLAdRIbine Tablets treating multiple sclerosis orallY) study, Cladribine significantly improved clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes (vs placebo) in patients with relapsing-remitting sclerosis. Objective: Describe two clinically relevant definitions for high disease activity (HDA) at baseline of study (utility verified receiving assess treatment effects 3.5 mg/kg compared overall population. Methods: Outcomes randomised to or placebo were...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cladribine tablets in patients still experiencing active relapsing MS despite interferon (IFN)-β treatment. <h3>Methods</h3> A 96-week phase II study, randomizing treated with IFN-β to 3.5 mg/kg/IFN-β or placebo/IFN-β. Patients were receive placebo/IFN-β a 2:1 ratio (n = 172) exploratory outcomes being assessed. <h3>Results</h3> Adverse events (AEs) serious AEs similar across treatment groups, except lymphopenia. Fifty 124 (40.3%)...
LBA2009 Background: Cilengitide (CIL) is a selective αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrin inhibitor. In phase II study in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, CIL added to standard temozolomide (TMZ) radiotherapy (RT) was well tolerated appeared confer improved survival glioblastoma methylated MGMT gene promoter (Stupp et al.

9507 Background: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive skin cancer with poor prognosis. Studies of second-line chemotherapy for metastatic MCC (mMCC) have reported median progression-free survival (PFS) up to 3 months and no benefit overall (OS). Avelumab, human anti–PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, approved in several countries the treatment mMCC. Here, we report updated efficacy safety data from part A pivotal, single-arm, phase 2, JAVELIN 200 trial avelumab patients (pts) mMCC ≥2 y...

Abstract M4076 is a potent and selective oral inhibitor of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM), key kinase the DNA damage response (DDR) involved in double-strand break repair. Preclinically, when combined with damage-inducing therapy or other DDR inhibitors caused unrestricted cell cycle progression accumulation, resulting tumor death.

Cladribine Tablets (MAVENCLAD®) selectively reduce absolute lymphocyte counts (ALCs) in patients with multiple sclerosis. The recommended cumulative dose of is 3.5 mg/kg over 4–5 days months 1 and 2 treatment years 2, followed by prolonged efficacy no additional treatment. After the cladribine-induced reduction, ALCs recover to normal within each year most patients. Those slow ALC recovery can develop Grade 3–4 lymphopenia, especially those ≥ lymphopenia at start 2. Guidelines allowing...
Abstract Background: Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) protein kinase plays a critical role in the DNA damage response. M1774, potent, selective, orally administered ATR inhibitor with antitumor activity preclinical models, was evaluated as monotherapy Part A1 of first-in-human open-label, single-arm study (NCT04170153).
